In the Web: The Crisp & Woodard Families of 19th Century Burke County

By: Helen Norman,Patricia Page

In The Web opens in 1850, in the small town of Morganton, North Carolina, with the marriage of Mourning Crisp, a free woman of color, to Underzine, a slave of the prominent Greenlee family. Their marriage was illegal at the time; nevertheless, it occurred. The Greenlees loaned out their parlor as the venue, and a local justice of the peace conducted the ceremony. Forty years later, this irregular marriage would lead to a protracted battle fought in Burke County Superior Court and the North Carolina Supreme Court. In 1887, Underzine Pelot, former slave, died without a will, having acquired nearly 500 acres of land in Burke County's South Mountains. The civil lawsuit that ensued focused on one primary issue: Was Mourning's daughter, Emily Crisp Woodard, the child of Underzine Pelot or of his former master, Sam Greenlee? The authors' transcriptions of the witness testimony and court pleadings, as well as their research into probate records, apprentice bonds, land records, military records, pension files, and newspaper reports bring together in one spot much formerly difficult-to-obtain information about the origins and activities of this African-American family. Dr. John E. Fleming, a great-grandson of Emily Crisp Woodard, [and Director in Residence, National Museum of African American Music, Nashville; Director Emeritus, Cincinnati Museum Center; and Chair, American Association for State and Local History Council] says of In The Web: "The authors have done some groundbreaking work. The book is well-researched, very well-written, and makes a great contribution to African American history, local history, and genealogy. Ms. Page and Ms. Norman have corrected some past assumptions about the family's history, while filling in many missing details.

Strike Up the Band

New York City in the Roaring Twenties

By: Helen Crisp,Jules Stewart

This is the story of the zest for life that gripped New York in the post-war years of the 1920s. The decade ushered in an era of almost unprecedented prosperity and economic expansion that made New York the powerhouse of America and fuelled a wave of creativity in music, fashion, literature and architecture. Strike Up the Band explores how the city became a magnet for a host of outstanding personalities, from literary figures to sports stars, musicians, composers and journalists, and pays a visit to the places they frequented, such as the Cotton Club and Broadway theatres. From skyline to sidewalk, the city was redeveloped in the building boom of the 1920s, with Art Deco becoming the style that dominated the new era. This book is a spirited chronicle of an outstanding decade"--

The Scarlet Sisters

My nanna’s story of secrets and heartache on the banks of the River Thames

By: Helen Batten

‘Oh my goodness – another girl Mrs Swain!’ Clara’s normal iron composure broke and she screamed, ‘No! That’s not the bloody deal!’ And that is how my nanna, Bertha Swain, entered the world. When Helen Batten’s marriage breaks down, she starts on a journey of discovery into her family’s past and the mysteries surrounding her enigmatic nanna’s early life. What she unearths is a tale of five feisty red heads struggling to climb out of poverty and find love through two world wars. It’s a story full of surprises and scandal – a death in a workhouse, a son kept in a box, a shameful war record, a clandestine marriage and children taken far too soon. It’s as if there is a family curse. But Helen also finds love, resilience and hope – crazy wagers, late night Charlestons and stolen kisses. As she unravels the story of Nanna and her scarlet sisters, Helen starts to break the spell of the past, and sees a way she might herself find love again.
